20th Aug 2026 Standard 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Two AW wins earlier in the year and he was back at his best when second at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago; has his first 6f run since his racecourse debut today but it shouldn't be a problem; high on the list. |
5/1 |

2nd 3 (11) |
1st Aug 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 6y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Dual AW winner, including from this mark at Newcastle (7f) in February; is yet to win on turf (0-13) but was beaten a nose in this last year, and was returning from a ten-week break when sixth of ten at Redcar (7f; 50-1; beaten 10l) in June; others preferred. |

19th Jun 2026 Good 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 2lb |
Both wins came over this trip on the AW at the start of the year, but he has made the frame several times on turf; was found to be coughing after running poorly at Thirsk ten weeks ago; can go well fresh and not easily dismissed. |

28th Jun 2026 Standard 0m 7f 36y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
Three wins over 7f this year, two of them here, and he turned in another solid effort at Southwell 38 days ago (6f); no obvious reason why he wouldn't go well once again. |
9/2 |
|
3rd 4 (7) |
21st May 2026 Standard 0m 6f 16y Class 6 |
9st 8lb |
Dual C&D winner, but has raced exclusively over 7f since December and was successful over that distance here four weeks ago; has to prove he still has the speed for this trip, but his course record makes him hard to dismiss. |
4/1 |
|
1st 6 (4) |

Eight wins on the AW include three at this track (6f/7f), the last win coming off 2lb lower at Wolverhampton last month; ran well when runner-up here 16 days ago and there's no reason why he can't go well again. |

4th Aug 2026 Good 0m 5f 212y Class 6 |
9st 9lb |
3-29 on the AW compared to 1-23 on turf, the last two successes coming at Southwell in January (6f/7f); went close at Salisbury (7f, good to firm) two weeks ago and will have no issue with the drop back in trip; respected. |
4/1 |
|
2nd 2 (8) |
21st Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 213y Class 6 |
11st 2lb |
Three-time AW winner who is only 1-22 on turf but has been placed a few times since returned to this sphere, runner-up at Leicester most recently; fighting chance off current mark in this field. |
11/4 |

2nd 7 (11) |
25th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 0y Class 6 |
9st 5lb |
Better on turf than a 1-21 record might suggest; two recent backward steps (never travelling here latest) but recorded a pair of near misses here before those, including over C&D off 2lb higher. |

13th Jul 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained five of his nine wins over C&D, the latest eight days ago (good ground); still on workable mark under 4lb penalty and ought to be right in the thick of things again. |

|
1st 4 (6) |
5th Jul 2026 Good 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Gained four of his eight wins over this C&D; made the frame off today's mark on consecutive starts at Carlisle last month (7f, soft/1m, good) and is sure to be suited by the return to this track; respected. |

9st 10lb |
In good form over 7f, winning at Wolverhampton in June and placed at Carlisle and Catterick since; Ethan Tindall takes off a handy 5lb; drop in trip not ideal but this looks likely to be run at a strong pace. |

9th Jul 2026 Good 0m 5f 182y Class 6 |
9st 11lb |
It took him a long time to get off the mark but he has won three of his last six starts and two of his last three; form of latest Pontefract (6f, good) success couldn't be working out much better (second, third and fourth all won next time) and a 3lb rise is no issue; obvious chance. |
15/8 |

1st 6 (10) |
21st Jun 2026 Good 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |
9st 6lb |
Contrasting performances since returned to turf from AW, winning narrowly at Leicester then trailing home last (albeit something was possibly amiss) at Doncaster; a possible player if back on song. |
10/1 |

16th 7 (3) |
6th Jun 2026 Good To Firm 0m 6f 2y Class 6 |
9st 7lb |
5yo who has won two of his last four starts including a last-gasp success at Leicester (6f, good to firm) in April; remains feasibly treated off only 2lb higher and he's still unexposed on turf; shortlisted. |

25th Jul 2026 Standard To Slow 0m 7f 14y Class 6 |

Veteran who gained the last five of his 13 wins here (7f-1m); not firing on all cylinders in recent weeks, though, and needs to up his game. |

5th Jul 2026 Good 1m 0f 0y Class 6 |

25th Jun 2026 Standard To Slow 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Veteran (13-103), latest win C&D (from 5lb higher) on New Year's Day; out of sorts lately, so perhaps age is beginning to catch up with him. |

19th Feb 2026 0m 6f 0y Class 6 |

Much better than this on AW in his pomp but there hasn't been much to celebrate in five runs for this yard, including returned to AW when last of seven over C&D two weeks ago; another ease in grade today but he's risky. |

9st 4lb |
Only turf win was in a Brighton novice (6f, soft) for Jane Chapple-Hyam in October 2023; however, he has run two sound races to be placed at Ayr on last two starts (7f, good to firm); each-way chance. |
11/2 |
|
3rd 7 (8) |
20th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 5 |
9st 2lb |
He has an up-and-down profile but he won at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) in March and finished second of seven over this C&D (good to firm) a fortnight ago; leading claims if backing up that latest performance. |
7/2 |

2nd 3 (9) |
5th May 2026 Good To Firm 0m 7f 50y Class 6 |

Hold-up performer who was a ready winner at Wolverhampton in March; similar form wheen fourth at Southwell on his next start but his performance has dipped twice since; no guarantee this will be run to suit. |

4-39, three of those wins here (7f-1m) in 2022; soundly beaten both starts since returning from a near two-year absence; makes no appeal despite this easing mark. |

13th Apr 2026 Standard 1m 0f 5y Class 6 |

Well suited by Newcastle but absent for almost two years before his last of ten here (50-1) in February; probably best watched again. |
